I'm going through the entries, stopping at those images I feel have had the benefit of an unconventional eye and dwelling a little longer to try to see and appreciate what you saw. This is one of those images.
Positives: My what a choice you've made to submit this. I bet you're getting killed and I bet you don't mind at all! I love her wild hair and the sharp focus on her eye and the rule of thirds composition.... like you've approached it like a real portrait, with the limbs and torso being 'posed' in a very real way. I really like that bronze coloration too and the way that you've processed and captured the light in a way that makes the highlights a feature in their own right. I also think the negative space at the top is inspired.
Critical stuff: Nothing
Overall: I could see this in a gallery and I for one would be transfixed. Excellent
